What is attention? How does it go wrong? This book is concerned with attention and its development, both typical and atypical, particularly in disorders with a known genetic etiology or assumed genetic linkage : ADHD, autism, fragile X syndrome, Down syndrome, Williams syndrome,…
The new edition of this book addresses the range of advances in the study of genetically caused abnormalities of human development. This edition features a wealth of color illustrations. The operating principle for organizing the clinical chapters remains one that is based on th…
